How to change the default WPS password in Websphere Integration Developer

Here is the file
~/.eclipse/ibm.websphere.integration.developer_7.0.0_1741360425/configuration/.settings/com.ibm.wbit.runtime.core.prefs 
and that context is to be changed:
security.user.wps_61=admin
security.password.wps_61={xor}PjsyNjE\=
For password encoding that entry might be helpful.
UPDATE: From now on you do not have to enter embedded WebSphere user/password every time you start WID. For Windows, the directory and file can somewhere in WID61\configuration\.settings\com.ibm.wbit.runtime.core.prefs. I think it could be in similar place on Linux, but that depends on your user's write rights to WID directory. I should have issued a proper umask prior to the installation apparently - but when you read installation docs few months after the installation, such things happen.

Oracle not starting after system reinstallation

After formatting root partition and installation of Xubuntu 8.10 instead of Kubuntu 8.04 (but preserving /home) Oracle failed to start:
oracle[SID]: error while loading shared libraries: libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ERROR:
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact


Enter user-name:

The solution was to install libaio1:
sudo aptitude install libaio1
Well, somewhat natural consequence of the decision not to automatically reinstall all the packages present in my previous Hardy installation...
